Performed at the Hartt School for the Hartt Percussion Ensemble's 75th Anniversary Concert on April 12, 2025.

Cha Cha Lekpa Fun is a generic rhythm in Yoruba religious ceremonies. Traditional bata drumming is played at the ceremonies of the Yoruba religion, Santeria. The ensemble is made up of three drums: jyá (mother drum), itótele (or omelé enkó), and okónkolo (or simply, omele). Iya, the largest and lowest pitched drum, is the lead instrument in the ensemble. It is assigned the most complicated rhythms and has the most freedom for embellishment. Itótele is the middle sized drum. It engages in occasional variation as well as regular conversation with the iya. Okónkolo, the smallest drum, is generally confined to rhythmic ostinatos.

Performers: Ben Toth (Iyá), Honoka Masuyama (Itótele), Hannah Moore (Okónkolo)
